Today my heart broke a little bit. It was my little ones first day of preschool and I brought my helper along to assist me. When we were ready to leave, my little one kept bawling away and would not let go of my helper and kept saying "ateh, don't leave me" (ateh is big Sister). I told my baby, ok, mumma can take time off from work and spend with you and she replied, no I want ateh to stay and play with me. I feel jealous and hurt that my baby prefers The Maid to me. Am I being unreasonable? I feel like changing maids.

oh! dont worry, i use to feel the same way when my baby was abt 9 mts always was crying and wanted to go to my helper.. i decided to spend as much time with my baby when i get home from work and on weekends playing doing fun stuff like hide and seek, playing the ball or just running around the playground. My son is 18 mts now and runs to me when i get home, he wants me most of the time when we are home so much so that his dad is now jealous ;) So dont worry it will pass just spend time with your kid and know your helper is taking very gd care of him. When jealously exists hatred will begin so break the pattern and just spend as much time u can possible with ur kid
